I think it might be winter…

I think it might be winter…

I know that the first official day of winter is not until later in December and I’m not sure who gets to decide, but I vote that winter is here. Snow is falling and bells are ringing…well, the bell that tells me I need to get to class. And, there’s a nice bone-chilling draft coming […]

Finally, an Adventure!

Finally, an Adventure!

Look, a real adventure! Complete with bones, feathers and pickery weeds clinging to our sleeves. Sadly, we didn’t escape too far into the deep wilderness, but it was the first time we’d played in a meadow in a while. Fall had made everything crispy, only a few little slender shoots of green hiding beneath. I’m […]

A Steady Simmering

It’s already halfway through November. Time doesn’t stand still for anyone, does it?! I’ll admit, I’m tired. The strange thing is that I’m actually physically laboring less–Colorado always had me running faster than I thought I could. Here, life is a different flavor. I can’t say that the workload has been harder than I’ve ever […]

A Little Bit More Fall

A Little Bit More Fall

SORRY FOR THE STRANGE FORMATTING–NOT QUITE SURE WHY IT GOT FUNKY…   Everything smelled like fall today as we headed dow the stairs to our 8am class. The three stairwell windows let in the delightful smell of damp grass and dying leaves! If I could have bottled it, I would have! The homework was light […]

Fall

I know, I know. I know that I don’t update this enough! I will try to change that in the coming weeks. We’ll see! But, here is a picture of NTBI for you! Fall is in full swing and probably on its way toward winter, but I’ve been enjoying most every minute of the fiery […]

Tiny Update

We’re on our lunch break. Payton is taking his Ruth/Eccl/Song of Solomon test (I’m proctoring). We have two more electives this afternoon, Wednesdays being our long days. All that my weekend was is on paper in my binder waiting to be turned in. I believe that I can safely say that this weekend of homework–one […]

Back in the Swing of Things!

Back in the Swing of Things!

I can’t believe that September is almost over. I have barely had time to write anything more than the necessary papers and essays. We’ve started Hermeneutics 1 and Evangelism in a Postmodern World. Both of these classes are intense and exciting, challenging every area and corner of our thinking. If I had to use a […]

In the Beginning, God…

In the Beginning, God…

So, we’ve officially made it through the first week of school! The curriculum is chronological, moving from Genesis through Revelation with the understanding that each book builds upon another. You cannot understand Exodus until you understand Genesis, and so on and so forth until you realize that Christ cannot be understood in fullness until you […]

To Michigan, Part 2

To Michigan, Part 2

The second half of the adventure began once we arrived back at NTBI from my parents’ house. There was stuff EVERYWHERE. We didn’t really have any furniture to put things on, we didn’t even have a bed. I started to arrange kitchen items because I had cabinet space for them. I hadn’t gone shopping, so […]

To Michigan, Part 1

I am not even sure I could begin to untangle the web of events that started a week ago this morning. For the sake of keeping all of my dear friends in Colorado informed, I’ll give it a whirl. Tuesday morning we headed out from the Springs, our car piled so high and riding so […]
